We had the most incredible stay at Barnyard for my birthday. The property is amazing and you are blown away when you arrive. It was spotlessly clean, unbelievably well equipped, big but cosy and comfy. The dogs loved the fully enclosed secure garden and loved watching the sheep and horses! The owners were lovely, friendly and made us feel welcome whilst still respecting our privacy. The hot tub was lovely and private which you don’t get everywhere so it just goes to show the level of detail thought about by the owners. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Barnyard. Thank you so much for a lovely break.
